PanPastels - Spring Time

I wanted to do something different with my card today and was in the mood to create digital images. So what I did was find this gorgeous group of birds at The Graphic Fairy and set about making a background using my PanPastels and masks, but I didn't fancy printing out the image and then trying to cut it out. So what did I do? I scanned my background into the computer and had fun playing around with ping files and a frame from DigitalCrea

So having merged all my elements together I have printed it out and added embellishments to finish it off.

You can see the design of my PP background using masks and embossing ink.

I added some music transparency with one of my downloaded butterflies I love to use.

This is called a hybrid card because it combines both digital and 3D handmade elements together.

I hope you will join us at PanPastel UK challenge blog this week with our 'Spring Time' theme and if you do you could be in with a chance of winning a PanPastel set from our very generous sponsors at Your Creativity Store.

Morning Brenda, what a fantastic card, it really is like a mini work of art! The music background is perfect and the flower tutorial below is amazing, I will be trying that out when I get back from the Lakes!Hope your wellHugs Laurie xx

Hello BrendaYou are a whizz when it comes to working with ping files, what an advantage over us plebs, who just print out the digi image and colour it up!!!!!This looks stunning.Your music Bg the birds, and your added elements all work so well, stepping out and walking a different path, can re-inspire that creative gene that sometimes becomes stagnant.Smiles:)Sue
